These parts are still available from any Fiat/Alfa dealer. I bought some a week ago.

I think you'll find that the nuts pictured are for the rear hubs. The front ones don't have the integral washer. A word of warning if you are buying a kit for the Beta front wheel bearings, I got one and the retaining rings were for the rear bearings, different diameter, althought the bearings were correct. Fortunately I managed to shift the unwanted rings on through Ebay and almost covered the cost of the bearing kits!

The retaining rings are also available through Fiat/Alfa.

I bought some of those at the same time, and, in fact, I currently have 2 spare ones.

I'll sort out the part numbers and post them up on here later this week. The invoices are down at Keith's workshop.

The reason I ask is that my rear bearings appear to be well Sh4gged after recent antics and I'll need to be taking the Stake nut off.
With the amount of play in the right hand side I'm not surprised it was handling perculiarly Saturday Afternoon.

So let me get this right. I need Beta front wheel bearing Kit for the rear of the Hawk don't I? Or should I just go for the bearings on there own?
Sounds like they come with the stake nut too as a complete kit?

Any suggestions on where is best place to get them?
cheers

Rob,

I got all my stuff from Desira. One of their branches is local to me, but they advertise in Auto Italia for a mail-order service.

However, the old Lancia Beta and Fiat 132 parts are not on their main parts system, you have to ask them to look on the microfiche system.

Thanks Dave
On Closer inspection tonight it looks (Right hand side particularly) that it is the Stake nut that has come loose and turned about a third of a turn. (when giving it some off the line at Abingdon no doubt :D )
I'll try re-tightening them FFFFFF Tight first before I get anything, see it that gets rid of all the play.

cheers
Rob
